Passing the baton
The end of 2025 saw changes in the LIFE team!
The Conservatoire d’espaces naturels de Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, La Barben Zoo and the Zoological Park of the Museum of Besançon have produced an educational kit to be used at local events to raise awareness among schoolchildren and the general public about protecting the Crau and its famous Grasshopper.
Mallette pédagogique LIFE SSOS Criquet de Crau Audrey Hoppenot - CEN PACA
This kit, made up of fun and educational materials, includes 7 activities:
The visuals used to create the materials were taken from the film “Un secret de la Steppe”, produced by Les Fées spéciales.
This kit has already been used by 8 classes visiting the Crau Ecomuseum in May 2023, and by the 797 visitors we welcomed to our stands at the Camargue and Delta du Rhône Festival in May 2023, and at the Provence farmers fair in June 2023.
Une version numérique de cette mallette est également mise à disposition des enseignants qui le souhaitent.
